'The Village': Dominic Chianese as the sassy but loving grandfather Enzo is already winning hearts
The audience is warming up towards NBC's 'The Village,' after being perpetually compared to 'This Is Us,' which follows a similar theme- family. However, instead of one family, 'The Village,' centers around the residents of a Brooklyn building. With the pilot airing on March 19, the reaction of the audience proved that the show was much more than what was assumed and the cast including Michaela McManus, Lorraine Toussaint, Warren Christie, Moran Atias, Frankie Faison, Jerod Haynes, Grace Van Dien, Daren Kagasoff, and Dominic Chianese were quick to win hearts, particularly the character of Enzo Napolitano, played by Chianese.
The 88-year-old veteran actor, best known for playing Corrado "Uncle Junior" Soprano on the HBO series "The Sopranos," for which he was nominated for Emmy Awards in 2000 and 2001, appears as Gabe's grandfather at a nursing home being taken care of by McManus' character, Sarah.
